ARTICLE V
REPURCHASE UPON A REPURCHASE EVENT
5.1 Repurchase Right Upon Repurchase
Event. If a
Repurchase Event occurs, in addition to any other right of the Holder, the
Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to
repurchase all of this Note, or any portion hereof on the repurchase date that
is five Business Days after the date of the Holder Notice delivered with respect
to such Repurchase Event. The Holder shall have the right to require the Company
to repurchase all or any such portion of this Note if a Repurchase Event occurs
at any time while any portion of the principal amount of this Note is
outstanding at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. If the Holder exercises
its right to require the repurchase of less than all of the outstanding
principal amount of this Note, the Holder may specify the manner in which the
principal amount repurchased shall be allocated between the outstanding
installments of principal.
5.2 Notices; Method of Exercising
Repurchase Rights, Etc. (a) On
or before the fifth Business Day after the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, the
Company shall give to the Holder a Company Notice of the occurrence of the
Repurchase Event and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a
result thereof. Such Company Notice shall set forth:
26
(i) the date
by which the repurchase right must be exercised, and
(ii) a
description of the procedure (set forth in this Section 5.2) which the
Holder must follow to exercise the repurchase right.
No
failure of the Company to give a Company Notice or defect therein shall limit
the Holder’s right to exercise the repurchase right or affect the validity of
the proceedings for the repurchase of this Note or portion hereof.
(b) To
exercise the repurchase right, the Holder shall deliver to the Company on or
before the 30th day after a Company Notice (or if no such Company Notice has
been given, within 40 days after the Holder first learns of the Repurchase
Event) (i) a Holder Notice setting forth the name of the Holder and the
principal amount of this Note to be repurchased, which amount may be allocated
between the installments of principal outstanding at such time as determined by
the Holder in its sole discretion, and (ii) this Note, duly endorsed for
transfer to the Company of the portion of the outstanding principal amount of
this Note to be repurchased. A Holder Notice may be revoked by the Holder at any
time prior to the time the Company pays the applicable Repurchase Price to the
Holder.
(c) If the
Holder shall have given a Holder Notice, then on the date which is five Business
Days after the date such Holder Notice is given (or such later date as the
Holder surrenders this Note) the Company shall make payment in immediately
available funds of the applicable Repurchase Price to such account as specified
by the Holder in writing to the Company at least one Business Day prior to the
applicable repurchase date.
5.3 Other. (a) If
the Company fails to repurchase on the applicable repurchase date this Note (or
portion hereof) as to which the repurchase right has been properly exercised
pursuant to this Article V, then the Repurchase Price for the portion (which, if
applicable, may be all) of this Note which is required to have been so
repurchased shall bear interest to the extent not prohibited by applicable law
from the applicable repurchase date until paid at the Default Rate.
(b) If a
portion of this Note is to be repurchased, upon surrender of this Note to the
Company in accordance with the terms of this Article V, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Holder without service charge, a new Note or Notes,
having the same date hereof and containing identical terms and conditions, in
such denomination or denominations as requested by the Holder in aggregate
principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unrepurchased portion of the
principal amount of the Note so surrendered.
(c) A Holder
Notice given by the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to be in proper form
unless the Company notifies the Holder within three Business Days after such
Holder Notice has been given (which notice shall specify all defects in such
Holder Notice), and any Holder Notice containing any such defect shall
nonetheless be effective on the date given if the Holder promptly undertakes to
correct all such defects. No such claim of defect shall limit or delay
performance of the Company's obligation to repurchase any portion of this Note,
the repurchase of which is not in dispute.
27
ARTICLE VI
CONVERSION
6.1 Right to
Convert. Subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Note, the Holder shall have
the right, at the Holder's option, at any time prior to the close of business on
the Final Maturity Date (except that, if the Holder shall have exercised
repurchase rights under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 or the Company shall have exercised
its redemption rights under Section 2.1, such conversion right shall terminate
with respect to the portion of this Note to be repurchased or redeemed, as the
case may be, at the close of business on the last Trading Day prior to the later
of (x) the date the Company is required to make such repurchase or the Optional
Redemption Date, as the case may be, and (y) the date the Company pays or
deposits in accordance with Section 7.10 the applicable Repurchase Price or the
Optional Redemption Price unless in any such case the Company shall default in
payment due upon repurchase or redemption hereof) to convert the principal
amount of this Note, or any portion of such principal amount which is at least
$1,000 (or such lesser principal amount of this Note as shall be outstanding at
such time), plus accrued and unpaid interest, into that number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as such shares shall then be constituted)
obtained by dividing (1) the sum of (x) the principal amount of this Note or
portion thereof being converted plus (y)
accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of the principal amount of this Note
being converted to the applicable Conversion Date plus (z)
accrued and unpaid Default Interest, if any, on the amount referred to in the
immediately preceding clause (y) to the applicable Conversion Date by (2) the
Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date, by giving a
Conversion Notice in the manner provided in Section 6.2; provided, however,
that, if
at any time this Note is converted in whole or in part pursuant to this Section
6.1, the Company does not have available for issuance upon such conversion as
authorized and unissued shares or in its treasury at least the number of shares
of Common Stock required to be issued pursuant hereto, then, at the election of
the Holder made by notice from the Holder to the Company, this Note (or portion
hereof as to which conversion has been requested), to the extent that sufficient
shares of Common Stock are not then available for issuance upon conversion,
shall be converted into the right to receive from the Company, in lieu of the
shares of Common Stock into which this Note or such portion hereof would
otherwise be converted and which the Company is unable to issue, payment in an
amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock which the Company is unable to issue times (y) the
arithmetic average of the Market Price for the Common Stock during the five
consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Conversion Date.
Any such payment shall, for all purposes of this Note, be deemed to be a payment
of principal plus a premium equal to the total amount payable less the principal
portion of this Note converted as to which such payment is required to be made
because shares of Common Stock are not then available for issuance upon such
conversion. The Holder is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock
until the Holder has converted this Note to Common Stock, and only to the extent
this Note is deemed to have been converted to Common Stock under this Article
VI. For purposes of Sections 6.5 and 6.6, whenever a provision references the
shares of Common Stock into which this Note (or a portion hereof) is convertible
or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note (or a
portion hereof) or words of similar import, any determination required by such
provision shall be made as if a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock were
then available for issuance upon conversion in full of this
Note.
28
6.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege;
Issuance of Common Stock on Conversion; No Adjustment for Interest or
Dividends. (a) In
order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to this Note, the Holder
shall give a Conversion Notice (or such other notice which is acceptable to the
Company) to the Company and the Transfer Agent or to the office or agency
designated by the Company for such purpose by notice to the Holder. A Conversion
Notice may be given by telephone line facsimile transmission to the numbers set
forth on the form of Conversion Notice. In connection with any conversion of
this Note, the Holder may allocate such conversion between the outstanding
installments of principal as determined by the Holder in its sole discretion, as
set forth in a particular Conversion Notice.
(b) As
promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three Trading Days, after a
Conversion Notice is given, the Company shall issue and shall deliver to the
Holder or the Holder's designee the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion of this Note or portion hereof in accordance with
the provisions of this Article and deliver a check or cash in respect of any
fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such
conversion, as provided in Section 6.2(f) and, if applicable, any cash payment
required pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 6.1 (which
payment, if any, shall be paid no later than three Trading Days after the
applicable Conversion Date). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of this Note, provided the
Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the
Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
transfer agent electronically to transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the
Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock
certificates shall apply).
(c) Each
conversion of this Note (or portion hereof) shall be deemed to have been
effected on the applicable Conversion Date, and the person in whose name any
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon
such conversion shall be deemed to have become on such Conversion Date the
holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however,
that if a
Conversion Date is a date on which the stock transfer books of the Company shall
be closed such conversion shall constitute the person in whose name the
certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on
the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such
conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable
Conversion Date. Upon
conversion of this Note or any portion hereof, the accrued and unpaid interest
on this Note (or portion hereof) to (but excluding) the applicable Conversion
Date shall be deemed to be paid to the Holder of this Note through receipt of
such number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note or
portion hereof as shall have an aggregate Current Fair Market Value on the
Trading Day immediately preceding such Conversion Date equal to the amount of
such accrued and unpaid interest.
(d) A
Conversion Notice shall be deemed for all purposes to be in proper form absent
timely notice from the Company to the Holder of manifest error therein. The
Company shall notify the Holder of any claim by the Company of manifest error in
a Conversion Notice within two Trading Days after the Holder gives such
Conversion Notice (which notice from the Company
shall specify all defects in the Conversion Notice) and no such
claim of error shall limit or delay performance of the Company's
obligation to issue upon such
29
conversion
the number of shares of Common Stock which are not in dispute. Time shall be of
the essence in the giving of any such notice by the Company. Any Conversion
Notice containing any such defect shall nonetheless be effective on the date
given if the Holder promptly undertakes to correct all such defects. The Company
shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock or
other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than
that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or
persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the full
amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid. The Holder shall be responsible for the
amount of any withholding tax payable in connection with any conversion of this
Note.
(e) (1) If
the Holder shall have given a Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms of
this Note, the Company's obligation to issue and deliver the shares of Common
Stock upon such conversion shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the
enforcement of any other obligation of the Company to the Holder, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with such conversion;
provided, however,
that
nothing herein shall limit or prejudice the right of the Company to pursue any
such claim in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The occurrence of an
event which requires an adjustment of the Conversion Price as contemplated by
Section 6.3 shall in no way restrict or delay the right of the Holder to receive
certificates for Common Stock upon conversion of this Note and the Company shall
use its best efforts to implement such adjustment on terms reasonably acceptable
to the Holder within two Trading Days of such occurrence.
(2) If in any
case the Company shall fail to issue and deliver the shares of Common Stock to
the Holder in connection with a particular conversion of this Note within five
Trading Days after the Holder gives the Conversion Notice for such conversion,
in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have hereunder and under
applicable law (A) the Company shall pay or reimburse the Holder on demand for
all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of legal counsel, incurred by the Holder as a result of such failure,
(B) if as a result of such failure the Holder shall suffer any direct damages or
liabilities from such failure (including, without limitation, margin interest
and the cost of purchasing securities to cover a sale (whether by the Holder or
the Holder's securities broker) or borrowing of shares of Common Stock by the
Holder for purposes of settling any trade involving a sale of shares of Common
Stock made by the Holder during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and
ending on the date the Company delivers or causes to be delivered to the Holder
such shares of Common Stock), then the Company shall upon demand of the Holder
pay to the Holder an amount equal to the actual direct, out-of-pocket damages
and liabilities suffered by the Holder by reason thereof which the Holder
documents to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, and (C) the Holder may
by written notice (which may be given by mail, courier, personal
service or telephone line facsimile transmission), given at any time prior to
delivery to the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with
such exercise of the Holder's conversion right, rescind such exercise and the
Conversion Notice relating thereto, in which case the Holder shall thereafter
be
30
entitled
to convert that portion of this Note as to which such exercise is so rescinded
and to exercise its other rights and remedies with respect to such failure by
the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Company shall not be liable to
the Holder under clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence to the extent
the failure of the Company to deliver or to cause to be delivered such shares of
Common Stock results from fire, flood, storm, earthquake, shipwreck, strike,
war, acts of terrorism, crash involving facilities of a common carrier, acts of
God, or any similar event outside the control of the Company (it being
understood that the action or failure to act of the Transfer Agent shall not be
deemed an event outside the control of the Company except to the extent
resulting from fire, flood, storm, earthquake, shipwreck, strike, war, acts of
terrorism, crash involving facilities of a common carrier, acts of God, or any
similar event outside the control of the Transfer Agent or the bankruptcy,
liquidation or reorganization of the Transfer Agent under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law). In the case of the Company’s failure to issue
and deliver or cause to be delivered the shares of Common Stock to the Holder
within three Trading Days of a particular conversion of the Note, the amount
payable by the Company pursuant to clause (B) of this Section 6.2(e)(2) with
respect to such conversion shall be reduced by the amount of payments previously
paid by the Company to the Holder pursuant to Section 8(a)(4) of the Purchase
Agreement with respect to such conversion. The Holder shall notify the Company
in writing (or by telephone conversation, confirmed in writing) as promptly as
practicable following the third Trading Day after the Holder gives a Conversion
Notice if the Holder becomes aware that such shares of Common Stock so issuable
have not been received as provided herein, but any failure so to give such
notice shall not affect the Holder's rights under this Note or otherwise. If the
Holder shall have exercised the conversion right in any particular instance and
either (1) the Company shall notify the Holder on or after the date the Holder
gives such Conversion Notice that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion might not be delivered within three Trading Days after the date the
Holder gives such Conversion Notice or (2) the Holder learns after the date
which is three Trading Days after the date the Holder gives such Conversion
Notice that the Holder has not received such shares of Common Stock, then,
without releasing the Company of its obligations with respect thereto, from and
after the Trading Day next succeeding the earlier of the events described in the
preceding clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence the Holder shall make reasonable
efforts not to sell shares of Common Stock in anticipation of receipt of such
shares of Common Stock in a manner which is likely to increase materially the
liability of the Company under clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section
6.2(e)(2).
(f) No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note
but, in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be
issuable in respect of such conversion, the Company may round the number of
shares of Common Stock issued on such conversion up to the next highest whole
share or may pay lawfulmoney of the United States of America for such fractional
share, based on a value of one share of Common Stock being equal to the Market
Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date.
6.3 Adjustment of Conversion
Price. The
Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as
follows:
31
(a) Adjustments for Certain Dividends
and Distributions in Common Stock. In case
the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date pay a dividend or make a
distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date
following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such
Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date
fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number
of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other
distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening
of business on the day following the Record Date. If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in this Section 6.3(a) is declared but not so
paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion
Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not
been declared.
(b) Weighted Adjustments for Certain
Issuances of Rights or Warrants. In case
the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date issue rights or warrants (other
than any rights or warrants referred to in Section 6.3(d)) to all holders of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within
45 days after the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price on the Record Date
fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal
the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the
close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase
at such Current Market Price, and the denominator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the
total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or
purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening
of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that
shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants,
upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion
Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect
had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made
on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually
delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the
Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would
then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining
whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in
determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there
shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or
warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined
by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the
adjustments as set forth in this Section 6.3(b) will require the Company to seek
stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 713 of the AMEX and such stockholder
approval has not yet been obtained, then the adjustment shall not take effect
until such stockholder approval is obtained. The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, but
in no event later than 90 days thereafter, the stockholder approval that is
necessary under the rules of the AMEX.
32
(c) Adjustments for Certain Subdivisions
of the Common Stock. In case
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall on or after the Issuance Date be
subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price
in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day
upon which such subdivision becomes effective and the day on which “ex-” trading
of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day
following the day upon which such combination becomes effective and the day on
which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock with respect to such combination begins
shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may
be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the earlier
of the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes
effective and the day on which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock begins with
respect to such subdivision or combination.
(d) Adjustments for Certain Dividends
and Distributions. In case
the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise,
distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital
stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section
6.3(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets
(including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in
Section 6.3(b) and dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and
excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets
distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 6.6 applies) (the
foregoing hereinafter in this Section 6.3(d) called the “Securities”)), then, in
each such case, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 6.3(d), the
Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date
less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such
date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of
Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such
reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the Record Date; provided, however,
that in
the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the
Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or
greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the
foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall
have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof)
the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder
converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date.
In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the
Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would
then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the
Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for
purposes of this Section 6.3(d) by reference to the actual or when issued
trading market for any Securities comprising all or part of such distribution,
it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used
in computing the Current Market Price, to the extent possible.
33
Rights or
warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the
holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital
stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or
warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger
Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii)
are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of
Common Stock, shall not be deemed to have been distributed for purposes of this
Section 6.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 6.3
will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any
such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants
distributed prior to the Issuance Date, are subject to Trigger Events, upon the
satisfaction of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable
to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets,
then the occurrence of each such Trigger Event shall be deemed to be such date
of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a
termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by
the holder thereof) (so that, by way of illustration and not limitation, the
dates of issuance of any such rights shall be deemed to be the dates on which
such rights become exercisable to purchase capital stock of the Company, and not
the date on which such rights may be issued, or may become evidenced by separate
certificates, if such rights are not then so exercisable). In addition, in the
event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with
respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution
amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 6.3
was made (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have
been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the
Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to
give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though
it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase
price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such
rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants),
made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or
repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have
expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the
Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been
issued.
For
purposes of this Section 6.3(d) and Sections 6.3(a) and (b), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 6.3(d) is applicable that also includes
shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock to which Section 6.3(b) applies (or both), shall be
deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of
indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than
such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 6.3(b)
applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 6.3(d) with
respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately
followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or
such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by
Sections 6.3(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then
be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be
substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such
determination” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 6.3(a) and as
“the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the
stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and “such Record Date”
within the meaning of Section 6.3(b) and (B)
any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not
be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for
such determination” within the meaning of Section
6.3(a).
34
(e) Adjustments for Certain Cash
Dividends. In case
the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise,
distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is
distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 6.5 applies or as
part of a distribution referred to in Section 6.3(d)) in an aggregate amount
that, combined with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to
all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months
preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no
adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate
of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors,
whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of
consideration payable in respect of any Tender Offer by the Company or any
Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12
months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, exceeds 1% of the
product of (x) the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such
distribution times (y) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each
such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the
Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the Holder upon the
conversion of this Note (and shall have made adequate provision) so that the
Holder will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common
Stock to which the Holder is entitled, the amount of cash which the Holder would
have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such
distribution of cash, converted this Note into Common Stock, the Conversion
Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be
equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the
quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 1% and (y) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record
Date; provided, however,
that in
the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of
Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common
Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate
provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon
conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of cash the Holder
would have received had the Holder converted this Note (or portion hereof)
immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or
distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) Adjustment in Connection Sales by a
Designated Person. (1) If at
any time on or after the Issuance Date any Designated Person, directly or
indirectly, sells, transfers or disposes of shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents other than a Permitted Designated Person Sale and on the
Measurement Date for such sale, transfer or disposition the Conversion Price in
effect on such Measurement Date is greater than the Computed Market Price on
such Measurement Date, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the
Conversion
Price shall be reduced to such Computed Market Price, such
adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the
day following the Measurement Date. If a reduction of the Conversion Price to
such Computed Market Price pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence would
require the Company to seek stockholder approval of the transactions
contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to Rule 713 of the AMEX and
the Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained, then the adjustment provided
in this Section 6.3(f) shall not take effect until such time as the Stockholder
Approval is obtained at which time the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such
Computed Market Price.
35
(2) The
Company shall enter into an agreement with each Designated Person, on or before
the date that is 30 days after the Issuance Date, pursuant to which each
Designated Person shall agree that upon the written request of the Company or
any Holder, the Designated Person shall provide the Company and such Holder, a
written statement setting forth the dates, if any, upon which the Designated
Person has sold, transferred or disposed of any shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents during such period as shall be reasonably requested by the
Company or such Holder to determine whether or not a sale, transfer or
disposition that requires an adjustment pursuant to Section 6.3(f)(1) has
occurred. The Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to inform the Company
immediately upon the sale, transfer or disposition of any shares of Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents by any Designated Person. The Company shall inform
the Holder immediately by phone and electronic transmission upon becoming aware
of any sale, transfer or disposition of any shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents by any Designated Person and will follow up with formal
written notice to the Holder pursuant to Section 7.2.
(g) Additional Reductions in Conversion
Price. The
Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those
required by Sections 6.3(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f), as the Board of
Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to
holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any
dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event
treated as such for income tax purposes.
(h) De Minimus
Adjustments. No
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however,
that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.3(h) are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All calculations under this Article VI shall be made by the Company and shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case
may be.
No
adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common Stock or
from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value.
(i) Company Notice of
Adjustments. Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly,
but in no event later than five days thereafter, give a notice to the Holder
setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, but which statement
shall not include any information which would be material non-public information
for purposes of the 1934 Act. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect
the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
36
(j) Effectiveness of Certain
Adjustments. In any
case in which this Section 6.3 provides that an adjustment shall become
effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer
until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder in connection with
any conversion of this Note after such Record Date and before the occurrence of
such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and
(ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant
to Section 6.2(f).
(k) Outstanding
Shares. For
purposes of this Section 6.3, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but
shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or
make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the
Company other than dividends or distributions payable only in shares of Common
Stock.
6.4 Effect of Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (a) If
any of the following events occur, namely:
(i) any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value
to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any
consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another corporation as
a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in
exchange for such Common Stock, or
(iii) any sale
or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially
as, an entirety to any other corporation as a result of which holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets
(including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common
Stock,
then the
Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute
with the Holder a written agreement providing that:
(x) this Note
shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities or property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange,
combination, sale or conveyance by the holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note in full (assuming, for such
purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available to
convert this Note) immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance
assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise such holder's rights of
election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination,
sale or conveyance (provided that, if
the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same
for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall
not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purposes of this
Section 6.4 the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable
upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or
conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount
so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing
shares),
37
(y) in the
case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or
purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the
performance of all of the Company's obligations under this Note and the Note
Purchase Agreement and
(z) if
registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act or applicable state
law for the public resale by the Holder of such shares of stock and other
securities so issuable upon conversion of this Note, such registration or
qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or
conveyance.
Such
written agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Article. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other
securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock
includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other
than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange,
combination, sale or conveyance, then such written agreement shall also be
executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions
to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors shall
reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including, to the
extent practicable, the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth
in Article V herein.
(b) The above
provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges,
combinations, sales and conveyances.
(c) If this
Section 6.4 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 6.3 shall not
apply.
6.5 Reservation of Shares; Shares to Be
Fully Paid; Listing of Common Stock.
(a) The
Company shall reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock
held in treasury, solely for issuance upon conversion of this Note, and in
addition to the shares of Common Stock required to be reserved by the terms of
the Other Notes, Warrants and the Other Warrants,
sufficient shares to provide for the conversion of this Note from time to time
as this Note is converted.
38
(b) Before
taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price
below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note, the Company will take all corporate action which may,
in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted
Conversion Price.
(c) The
Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this
Note will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(d) The
Company covenants that if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the
purpose of conversion of, or payment of interest on, this Note hereunder require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion or in payment
of interest, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible
endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may
be.
(e) The
Company covenants that, in the event the Common Stock shall be listed on the
Nasdaq, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE, the AMEX or any other national
securities exchange, the Company shall obtain and, so long as the Common Stock
shall be so listed on such market or exchange, maintain approval for listing
thereon of all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or in payment of
interest on this Note.
6.6 Notice to Holder Prior to Certain
Actions. In case
on or after the Issuance Date:
(a) the
Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock
(other than in cash out of retained earnings); or
(b) the
Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any
other rights or warrants; or
(c) the Board
of Directors shall authorize any reclassification of the Common Stock of the
Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common
Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no
par value to par value), or any consolidation or merger or other business
combination transaction to which the Company is a party and for which approval
of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) there
shall be pending the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company;
39
the
Company shall give the Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least
ten Trading Days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled
to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date
on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, other business
combination transaction, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of Common Stock of record who shall be entitled to
exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, other business combination
transaction, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall be
determined. Such notice shall not include any information which would be
material non-public information for purposes of the 1934 Act. Failure to give
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of
such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. In the case of any such action
of which the Company gives such notice to the Holder or is required to give such
notice to the Holder, the Holder shall be entitled to give a Conversion Notice
which is contingent on the completion of such action.
6.7 Restricted Ownership Percentage
Limitation. (a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares
of Common Stock that may be acquired at any time by the Holder upon conversion
of the Note shall not exceed a number that, when added to the total number of
shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by such Holder (other than by
virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities (including
the Warrants) that have limitations on the holder's right to convert, exercise
or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein (the “Excluded Shares”)),
together with all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned at such time (other
than by virtue of the ownership of Excluded Shares) by Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the beneficial ownership by
the Holder for purposes of determining whether a group exists or for purposes of
determining the Holder’s beneficial ownership (the “Aggregation Parties”), in
either such case for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Regulation
13D-G thereunder (including, without limitation, as the same is made applicable
to Section 16 of the 1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder), would
result in beneficial ownership by the Holder or such group of more than 9.9% of
the shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the
1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (as the same may be modified by a
particular Holder as provided herein, the “Restricted Ownership Percentage”).
The Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reduce its
Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately upon notice to the Company in the
event and only to the extent that Section 16 of the 1934 Act or the rules
promulgated thereunder (or any successor statute or rules) is changed to reduce
the beneficial ownership percentage threshold thereunder to a percentage less
than 10%. If at any time the limits in this Section 6.7 make the Note
inconvertible in whole or in part, the Company shall not by reason thereof be
relieved of its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock at any time or from
time to time thereafter upon conversion of the Note as and when shares of Common
Stock may be issued in compliance with such restrictions.
40
(b) For
purposes of this Section 6.7, in determining the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock at any time the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's then most recent Form 10-Q,
Form 10-K or other
public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a public announcement by the
Company that is later than any such filing referred to in the preceding clause
(1) or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth
the number shares of Common Stock outstanding and knowledge the Holder may have
about the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversions or exercises
of this Note, the Other Notes, the Warrants, the Other Warrants or other Common
Stock Equivalents by any Person, including the Holder, which are not reflected
in the information referred to in the preceding clauses (1) through (3). Upon
the written request of any Holder, the Company shall within three Business Days
confirm in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of Common Stock
Equivalents, including the Notes and the Warrants, by the Holder or its
Affiliates, in each such case subsequent to, the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Failure or Indulgency Not
Waiver. No
failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right
or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or
further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights
and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any
rights or remedies otherwise available. The Company stipulates that the remedies
at law of the Holder in the event of any default or threatened default by the
Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Note
are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically
enforced (x) by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained
herein, including, without limitation, a decree for issuance of the shares of
Common Stock (or other securities) issuable upon conversion of this Note or (y)
by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or (z)
otherwise.
7.2 Notices. Except

7.3 Amendment,
